[gmx-users] Fatal error message

[Jordi Camps]

Dear Ahmed,

I think that your problem is with the spaces embedded in the path. I suggest
you to try 4 workarounds (I hope some one will work):
	1. Surround the complete path to cpp with " in the .mdp file.
	2. Add the path where cpp resides to your PATH system variable. Then
change the .mdp line that contains the complete path with only the
executable (cpp).
	3. Escape the spaces in your path to cpp with backslashes in the
.mdp file.
	4. Install Gromacs (or only the cpp tool) in a folder without spaces
(ex.: c:\gromacs)

All this suggestions are based in the information of the previous message.
If you have now the cpp tool in /WINDOWS/system32/wbem/cpp, the the
workaround that suggested David should work. Change slashes (/) by
backslashes (\) and perhaps add the drive letter (c:).

Hope this helps :-)

See you!

Back Off! I just backed up mdout.mdp to ./#mdout.mdp.3# checking input for
internal consistency... calling /WINDOWS/system32/wbem/cpp...
'/WINDOWS/system32/wbem/cpp' is not recognized as an internal or external
comman d, operable program or batch file. cpp exit code: 1 Tried to execute:
'/WINDOWS/system32/wbem/cpp  -IC:\Documents and Settings\Ahmed
Lakhani\Desktop\gromacs\share\top -DFLEX_SPC speptide.top > gromppa00428'
The '/WINDOWS/system32/wbem/cpp' command is defined in the .mdp file
processing topology... processing coordinates... Fatal error: number of
coordinates in coordinate file (b4em.gro, 2741)
             does not match topology (speptide.top, 0)
